Is bromine the only chemical i need for my hot tub

Hot tubs don't need as many chemicals as a swimming pool does. The bromine helps to maintain the PH balance in the water. If you are keeping your filter cleaned on a regular basis and making sure you keep the hot tub covered, the water should always be crystal clear, without using other chemicals. Invest in some PH strips to tell you that everything is okay or needs some additives.

Unfortunately not, but it is the chemical which is used on a regular basis to assure water quality. Just browse the Internet you will find plenty of info on the other chemicals you need to use.

We have a pool and a spa. I use the same testing kit on both, the Taylor K 2005, which you can buy on amazon. You will need to test your alkalinity, ph, and bromine. You will need chemicals to manipulate out of range findings, most importantly bromine and muriatic acid ( brings down your ph and alkalinity). You may also need alkalinity up. My ph is never low! I really like this bromine, it seems to last longer than the bromine you can buy at walmart.

It isn't the only thing you need, however you will use the Bromine a lot more than you will use anything else. When I did all the work on our hot tub, that was pretty much all I ever used and the balance was usually spot on. My husband is a tad more "strict" about things so he uses other chemicals I never really had to use. He changes the water every 3 months or so though. Good buy on the Bromide though. You'll definitely get your money's worth. Scale defense is another one that might be used more often. Rarely did I use chlorine. Hope this helps.

Chlorine is the most important and this product is excellent. Get the test strips which tell you what you need. Other chemicals that you will need are PH increaser/decreaser and alkalinity increaser/decreaser. Test often and follow the colors.

You should decontaminate your hot tub useing hot tub forums method.http://www.poolspaforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19115

Its easy to fall for all the bells and whistles for a hot tub. Bromine can irritate some people and isn't great in combination with some water sources. Powdered chlorine with frequent pH checks will make a big difference. I have always found the Nature2 to be very compatible with the chlorine.

Yes you can add chemicals. The saltwater system converts the salt to chlorine so you would need some sort of chlorine tablets plus algaecide since your system is broke.

No, you will need to buy test strips... I couldn't get Le Natural Spa to maintain ph, or keep algae from forming, and we had to revert to regular chemicals anyway. I would recommend going to a local spa dealer for chemicals and water balence advise.

I don't know what is in NeverScrub but the Kaboom product seems to contain bromine as is used in indoor hot tubs. I refill with the much less expensive bromine tablets from the pool supply store. Chlorine is undesirable in closed spaces but bromine is supposed to be OK. Any bleaching cleaner can interfere with the action of a septic tank but the amount supplied by this product is probably no enough to make a noticeable difference in the septic tank.

I have used Bromine with mine and had no problems. I have had mine for about 7 months.

Yes. The test strip has an indicator for total chlorine or total bromine. There is also a pool and spa range for the free chlorine indicator. The test strip has a pH indicator which can also be used for spa, however, the pH range is broad, so you might want a more granular pH tester.

The best thing to use is a Saltron Mini saltwater system for spas. You NEVER have to add chemicals and the water stays crystal clear for months. I added a saltwater system to my Intex 15' x 48" pool and it has also been maintenance free for 4 years now! Saltwater is the best way to go! It is not salty like the ocean, but like a water softener system in your home. As salty as tears. I added 8 cups of Morton's pool salt and the salt remains there until you drain the spa. It can remain set up all year without adding any chemicals! Read Saltron Mini reviews.

On the bottle it say 100 % Magnesium chloride brine. As far as using either of the other products, I have never used either. Hope this helps.

Bromine is a bleaching agent. Since this flour is unbleached it should not be brominated. I have purchased over 400 pounds of this flour and it's my favorite for European type artisan breads.

chlorine, yes. fluoride, only with the separate elements for such purpose. They're sometimes included when buying online, or just buy separately

I have had my spa for about 8 years. These minerals were recommended to treat the water for it. I have a spa technician who recommends them as being essential. As far as I know, it works.

Nothing! You don't "need" an ozonator either. This does not eliminate the use of chlorine entirely, it just reduces the amount. My old redwood tub didn't have an ozonator, but I still used the Nature2. All I do is shock the tub about once a week and check the pH.

There is no need to add chemicals to the pool. I have the Intex 14x42 pool and I run the pump for 5 hours per day. Make sure to use the test strips and make sure everything is in balance. Also if you have well water like me, the minerals will build up quickly requiring you to clean the pump every 3-4 days. If the minerals build up too much the low salt alarm will go off but do not add more salt.

No chemical compounds needed - I just followed the directions on the package and it works slick as oil! This is the 3rd one I buy for this home - 3 bathrooms remodeled.
